Top Five Comedy Films

Recommended Posts


An older version of this thread exists......

Not criticising though, it's a while back and will be interesting to see how people's tastes have changed/moved on if any.

Then I said...

  1. Monty Python: The Life of Brian
  2. Modern Times
  3. Monty Python: Holy Grail
  4. This Is Spinal Tap
  5. Local Hero

Now I'd say....

  1. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
  2. Monty Python: The Life of Brian
  3. Modern Times
  4. This Is Spinal Tap
  5. Blazing Saddles

Probably..... :unsure:

1. Any Laurel & Hardy film but tops is Way Out West ('knock knock' who's there? 'Mary' Mary who? 'Er, Mary Christmas!' followed by Toad in the Hole ('Fresh Feeeesh') & Blockheads

2. Most Mel Brooks films but Young Frankenstien tops it (Frau Blucher, "Neeeigh!")

3. It's a Mad mad mad mad mad mad world. Forerunner to the Rat Race, good slapstick.

4. Any Marx brothers film, Duck Soup's the tops.

5. Kingpin = tied with most Farrelly brothers films tho'.

Just read this one and have to ask, how in the fúck can you leave out the Coen Brothers?!

1. The Big Lebowski

2. Fargo

3. Barton Fink

4. Raising Arizona

5. Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?

All Coen Brothers, all gems.

Apart from them:-

1. Life of Brian

2. This is Spinal Tap

3. Blazing Saddles

4. Sleeper

5. Gregory's Girl

The Blues Brothers would have been in my Top Five at one point but I saw it while I was sober about eighteen months ago and didn't laugh once. Up until then I'd seen it on numerous occasions and always thought it was brilliant.

The reason I wanted to watch it while sober is that on most occasions I'd missed bits of the film for various reasons and wanted to see it complete - as I said sober it was a disappointment. :unsure:
